Queen of Darkness

Chapter 18 - Knowledge

Chapter 18 - Knowledge

Alex: "Okay, so let me get this straight... You're a vampire and a witch?"

Me: "A Vampire Queen who held on to my Magick from when I was a witch, after I was turned...yes. I don't belong to coven anymore and I don't really practice Magick because of personal reasons."

Alex:" I've sat here for days, listening to all this... Do you honestly want to tell me you're a vampire who does magic?"

Me: "No...I don't do magick, not anymore. Did you not listen to what I just said? It's not because I can't... It's because it's just better for every that I don't"

I hand my aluminium tumbler to Alex "Here, take a sip, I know you've been curious about it since we met"

Alex removes the top lid to reveal the dark red thick liquid inside, the distinct odour, able to escape now once the lid has been removed.

Alex: "What the hell... Is this... blood?"

Me:" O positive to be exact... The most delicious of all. People believe it's the most scarce of the blood groups because it's in high demand due to the fact that it can be used in emergencies with all other blood groups, but the real reason it's scarce is because the vampires prefer the taste above all others and people that's O positive is likely Vamparic to a vampire somewhere and therefore not so willing to donate their precious life Force. "

Alex:" Okay first of all, drinking blood you got God knows where, does not proof you're a vampire... It only proofs you are completely insane! Do you know what types of diseases you can contract from consuming this? "

Clearly Alex wasn't going to be easily convinced, after everything I have already told him, he still didn't believe me. I needed to prove it to him.

Me:" Okay, calm down... Let's go for a drive, I want to show you something... Oh and go to the bathroom first, it's a three hour drive and I'm not doing bathroom breaks"

Alex: "What makes you think I'll go anywhere with you... You are insane!"

Me: "Curiosity... You will come with me because you're curious and you want proof, even though you're looking for proof that I'm not telling you the truth, where as I will show you proof that I am"

Alex: "No biting me?"

I don't know if he was being sarcastic or joking or if he was genuinely worried that I might bite him.

Me: "Have you given me your consent?"

Alex: "Of cause Not!"

Me: "Then no, I won't bite you... You're perfectly safe with me, don't be such a wuss"

Once ready we head downstairs to the basement. Alex is clearly in awe with the selection of cars in my private collection and even more surprised when I get into a black 1967 Dodge Challenger Rt.

Alex: "Wow what's this... Your batmobile?"

Me:"Ha! Funny... Like I haven't heard that before"

Alex: "I was expecting a limo seeing you're a Queen and all... With a chauffeur" he states sarcastically.

Me: "I've got a limo asswhipe... But I enjoy driving myself, I love classic cars"

The Dodge looks original on the outside and even though the interior looks original, I've added a few modifications, I like comfort... The windows are electric, the sound system has been upgraded, some minor cosmetics.

Alex: "Where are we going?"

Me: "You'll see once we get there"

I only have one night left to persuade Alex... If after tonight he isn't convinced, he will walk away and the past two and a half weeks would have been a complete waste of time.
